Ky Hote - Performer, Songwriter, Guitarist

Ky Hote, a singer-songwriter from Austin, Texas has roots in NYC and on the road. While other artists sing Woody Guthrie songs and write about riding the rails, Ky Hote has been there, done that. San Francisco to Maine and from Florida to Alaska, Ky has hitchhiked, rode freight trains, buses, cars and kept his guitar by his side all the way. His vast catalog of original songs reflect his travels and the people he met. He is a humorist and a visionary whose work often comments on relationships and the world we share.

"The Most Dangerous Guitar Player"

The Austin Chronicle described him as “classical composer/Kerrvert/folk rocker... (whose) earnest rasp and hard folk style is a refreshing kick in the ass." (2000)

"One of the most interesting pieces promises to be 'Midiville Mass for Monday Morning,' a selection written by (Ky Hote) for electronic instruments and
recorded voices, which was inspired by... medieveal composition... and... paraphrasing. (It) features complex polyphony, a seamless texture and a meditative quality." ...The Equinox, Keene NH, 1994

"I could feel your energy from all the way across Washington Square Park!"... David Peel (1977)
